You had a bad day

So. Bad days. They suck, right? THEY SUCK.I’ve had a few bad days lately. At least, that’s what they feel like when I’m in the middle of them. Little things build until the little-thing-mountain feels like it’s going to break my back.Until later, when I realise it was really a little-thing-molehill.Partly inspired by Emily from Have a Laugh on Me‘s #projectcalmdownmum, and partly inspired by the sarcasm which is a constant presence in my head, I’m rewriting another well-known song. This time around, I’m taking a crack at Daniel Powter’s Bad Day.Enjoy.

Nice. Somehow we have not left these completely behind, despite their ages being 14 and 7 and now both in school. How do we even manage to do that? Ah well. There is indeed still take away and freezer dinners, much to my husband’s despair. Sigh. #teamIBOT

Brilliant! This is the new anthem for mums the world over! Particularly liked the line about KFC 🙂 My last ‘bad day’ was last week. I couldn’t put my daughter’s port-a-cot together properly and she was so tired and was yelling at me to get her to sleep and I just burst into tears and cried in a ball on the floor for a few minutes. I still didn’t get one of the sides of the cot fully erect, but it was good enough and she got to sleep and I made a cup of tea and went back to feeling like a normal human being 🙂

Thanks Lizzy! Portacots. Oh man. I have a mantra I repeat as I’m assembling ours – it’s just a portacot. There are steps. Just breathe. Follow the steps. Start again if you have to. IT WILL NOT DEFEAT YOU!

Nice work Em. At first I had no idea what song you were doing until I got to the chorus and then I was all “I know this song!”. So that says a lot about how well you did it! Now I am desperately thinking of songs for you to do. Have you done “Somebody that I used to know” yet, is that why it’s popped in to my head, because you did that one. Man I think I need to go to bed!
